🎃 A Ghostly Stroll by the Sea! Halloween GPS Art in Choshi 👻
Get into the Halloween spirit with an adorable ghost-shaped GPS art course in Choshi, Chiba! Starting from Choshi Station, this 8km walking route reveals a playful “obake” (ghost) as you trace your steps through the historic port town.
Along the route, you’ll pass by temples that have stood for centuries—Kawafuku-ji, Homan-ji, Itoku-ji, and Myofuku-ji—each preserving the area’s deep spiritual heritage. As you continue, the inviting aroma of soy sauce drifts from the nearby YAMASA factory, one of Japan’s oldest and most renowned producers, adding a distinct Choshi touch to your walk.
Choshi, located at the easternmost tip of the Kanto region, has long flourished as a fishing and soy sauce brewing town. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it offers a refreshing coastal landscape where the legacy of merchants and seafarers still lingers.
The course concludes at the “Pacific Coast Cycling Road Starting Point Monument,” where the sea breeze welcomes you to the finish line. With its blend of scenic charm, cultural depth, and Halloween whimsy, this GPS art adventure is the perfect way to explore Choshi in a whole new way.
